For public safety agencies, utility services, and major delivery fleets, mobile connectivity is mission-critical. However, many organizations are facing an aging fleet of LTE routers, the unwelcome industry shift to mandatory, costly subscriptions, and ever-increasing security threats.

Aviat is answering these challenges with a revolutionary solution: the Aprisa LTE 5G rugged router combined with the flexible Provision Plus management system. This combination delivers high performance, unmatched security, and a unique, cost-saving ownership model.

Beyond Connectivity: A Full-Stack Mobile Solution

The Aprisa LTE 5G is engineered for the demanding mobile environment, supporting everything from Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) for first responders to Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) for utilities and in-vehicle systems like Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs) and OBD-2 diagnostics.

Key hardware and performance features include:

• Rugged Reliability: The device is FirstNet Trusted and ruggedized, meeting Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards for vibration and operating in extreme temperatures.
• Vibration-Proof Design: It utilizes QMA RF connectors (instead of standard SMA), which are secured with a coupling sleeve to prevent loosening due to vehicle vibration, enhancing RF reliability.
• Rapid Deployment: The router can perform a cold boot and connect to the cellular network in under a minute, critical for fast-response scenarios.
• High Availability: It supports dual SIM (single radio) configuration, allowing for rapid failover between carriers like FirstNet, T-Mobile, or Verizon in about 30 seconds if service is lost.

Aviat VRF Protect: The New Standard for Mobile Security

In modern vehicles, mission-critical applications often share the same router as less-secure systems, creating a major security risk. For example, a police MDT accessing the highly sensitive Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) database might sit next to a third-party-managed video camera system.

The Aprisa LTE 5G solves this with Aviat VRF Protect (Virtual Routing and Forwarding).

• Network Segmentation: VRF allows the physical router to function as multiple independent virtual routers, completely isolating traffic between connected devices.
• Reduce Attack Surface: This prevents a compromise on a vulnerable system (like a video recorder) from transgressing the network and gaining access to a secure network segment, such as the one used for CJIS access.

Your Management, Your Way

Aviat’s Provision Plus platform allows centralized monitoring of Aprisa routers and third-party devices. Features include:

• Real-time signal diagnostics
• Bulk configuration and firmware updates
• Location tracking and data usage alerts
• Custom dashboards for fleet-wide visibility

Unlike most competitors who force an OpEx/subscription-based model for router management and support, Aviat offers complete flexibility.

• CapEx Ownership: With Aviat, you can purchase a perpetual management license for Provision Plus, allowing you to own the management system outright. This CapEx model eliminates mandatory annual renewal fees, resulting in substantial Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) savings—potentially saving hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars against subscription models over a nine-year asset life.
• Flexible Deployment: Provision Plus can be deployed on your terms, allowing for either cloud-based or on-premise management, depending on your organization’s security and policy needs.
• 24/7 Local Support: Your investment is backed by 24/7/365 US-based technical support, readily available to help with any network issues.

The Aprisa LT 5G is more than a router—it’s a mission-critical networking solution built for the demands of modern fleets. With flexible deployment options, robust security, and a cost-effective ownership model, it’s a compelling alternative to subscription-heavy competitors.
